Events and Resources for the Week Of Solidarity Against Repression

Share This:

From April 1st to 7th, actions, informational events, film screenings, and benefits will all take place across so-called North America and beyond. The purpose of the week of action is simple: to come together and push back against a wave of repression that has been growing in the United States and accelerated by the coming to power of the Trump administration.

Now is the time to come together, discuss how we can support each other, and continue forward on the path ahead. Now is the time to make our friends across the country know that we have their backs. Now is the time to remember that in the face of everything, we as a movement support each other, we back each other up, and we all know that an injury to one of us, is an injury to all of us.

Seattle, WA: A rally is held on the UW campus in solidarity with comrade Hex, an IWW and GDC member who was shot by an alt-right Milo supporter on January 20th. Several fascists show up, a confrontation ensues, and one person is de-arrested from the hands of the police.

Minneapolis, MN: A rally is held in solidarity with Hex in Seattle and against the rising tide of fascism.

Through screening the documentary “Welcome to Leith” (2015), which chronicles to attempted takeover of a small North Dakota town by white supremacists, we hope to give context to current struggles against fascism and white supremacy and what is at stake.”

April 13th: Sandpoint, Idaho: Evans Brothers Coffee in Sandpoint Idaho, Thursday, 6:00 pm, Film Showing of Requiem for the American Dream: Extended interview with Noam Chomsky and Killing the Black Snake: Behind the #NODAPL Struggle. “While there have been a number of groups that have done great work in this area namely Wild Idaho Rising Tide and the group of lawyers who bankrupted the Aryan Nations in the 90’s, there is a serious lack of anarchist culture and resistance. That’s why the new collective RADAR has been formed and we will be putting on a Radical Movie Night! The hope is that this will be a bi-weekly event and through it we will further anarchist analysis and debate and that this will lead to action. If you live in the inland northwest and are reading this then you know how deplorable the situation is and RADAR hopes to bring us together to not only challenge the pervasive right wing in the area, but also liberal passiveness.”
